The West Wing - The Complete First Two Seasons (2-Pack) Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 5 Reviews)

By far one of the greatest shows on television
THe intricacies of plot, depth of the characters, and unrivaled dialogue make this one of the high water marks in network television history. FOr fans of drama (although there is a great comic undertone to some episodes) this show is a must have.

Some of the Best TV this reviewer has seen, & I've seen lots
Every episode is written with such eloquence, wit, and is of such a high standard, one can barely believe its been written for television. The acting is profoundly moving - the cast unforgettable. Meanwhile the set design, cinematography and lighting could easily be mistaken to be that of a feature film.

Season 1 and 2 earned 17 Emmies between them, and won countless other prestigious TV industry awards.

Easily some of the best and most enjoyable television ever created. And this coming from someone with no interest in Australian, let alone American politics.




The Way It Ought To Be
This is a delightful show that makes you think you could actually vote Democrat if the right candidate came along. The days of JFK are gone, but this show makes you genuinely care about the Bartlet Administration, even if you don't care for the real life politics of Martin Sheen. Aaron Sorkin deserves the praise that is lavished on him for his writing. This is an intelligently written show with lots of wit, humor, drama, and political brinkmanship. The show seems credible, and really makes you feel like you have a backstage pass to the day to day operations of the execute branch of the federal government. The cast is outstanding, with no real weak link (and let's face it, even one poorly casted actor can ruin an otherwise good movie or TV show). I really appreciate the carefully designed sets, the lighting, the transitions, and the overall tempo of the show. I had never seen a single episode of the show when I first started watching it on DVD, which turned out to be great because I got the opportunity to watch them all in order with no commercials. It's just high quality entertainment. With all the trash on TV these days, The West Wing is a real gem. I wish there were more shows that appealed to our sense of decency and civic virtue. The success of this show proves that there's a market for it.
